Summary: You won't be able to put it down
Review: This is the kind of book that will stay with you for a long time. The chilling account of neighbors blocks away, who heard her screams will send chills up and down your spine. It will also teach you to be wary of everyone! You will look at people (even your neighbors) with a different eye. I am not saying you will become a paranoid zombie but you will look at things differently. A well written book that will scare and enlighten you at the same time.

Summary: Unanswered Cries, Unanswered Motive But a Good Read
Review: This was a interesting book written by Thomas French. Karen Gregory was finally moving in with her boyfriend. Although, he was out of town she still chose to move in alone. This proved to be a fatal mistake. Her killer for reasons unexplained (but how well can murder be explained anyway?) watched her as she moved in. He knew she was alone, and made his move. Her blood curtling scream filled the air, yet no one called police. In a neighborhood that boasted community watch, Karen was ignored. A sad tale, that challenged my very sense of safety. I also was left asking myself how well do I really know my circle of friends? French did a good job with this book. I found his descriptions and depictions to be startlingly detailed, and not emotionally driven or one sided. Not like some true crime books that take a side, and present it only. Need a good book to curl up with in the dark, alone? This is it.
